Anoushka Shankar has forged musical connections much like her father, Pandit Ravi Shankar.

They have both crossed musical borders while keeping a foot in traditional Indian classical music.

On Shankar’s latest album called “Traveller,” the sitarist tackles Spanish flamenco.

Reporter Arun Rath recently caught up with Shankar in New York City.
